The popular messaging app Signal is currently experiencing server issues as reported by multiple user on X (formerly Twitter) and multiple sites such as downdetector.com .

So far no statement from Signal themselves, and their status website https://status.signal.org reports “Signal is up and running”

    I’d prefer if my private messages wouldn’t be made public, thank you.

    Sure, they are end to end encrypted, but giving everyone access to them is still dangerous.

      A message would not be going to everyone it would exist on your homeserver and the homeserver of whoever your messaging. Second your private messages would not be public u said it yourself its called encryption if u dont trust the encryption no point using signal in the first place. Third even if it made everything public the only meta data would be that u received a mesaage from someone at time xyz (not who just someone) look at sealed sender for more info on this.
